‘I have had the luxury to be coached by Dana during various sessions recently, as part of my Adaptive Leadership program. Her coaching style, supported with her competencies, triggered a lot of new thoughts and learnings with me, which I am able to use in my daily work and life in a broader sense. I see (and other people do recognise similar) the difference in the way I interact with people to the benefit of the relation and to the success of the company.

Dana shows a deep interest in what is driving you and aims to find out how to become more effective by asking the right questions and from that providing you with different insights. This is certainly what I have experienced. She does this in a pleasant way and is able to connect and switch easily between various theoretic models and how to apply these practically.

A Great and Effective Experience and thanks again Dana for the lessons learned and time spent together. For sure I will recommend you (like I am doing already) to many others as well!’ Winfried Jansen , General Manager International Business, Philips HealthTech

I have had the luxury to be coached by Dana during various sessions recently, as part of my Adaptive Leadership program. Her coaching style, supported with her competencies, triggered a lot of new thoughts and learnings with me, which I am able to use in my daily work and life in a broader sense. I see (and other people do recognise similar) the difference in the way I interact with people to the benefit of the relation and to the success of the company.

Dana shows a deep interest in what is driving you and aims to find out how to become more effective by asking the right questions and from that providing you with different insights. This is certainly what I have experienced. She does this in a pleasant way and is able to connect and switch easily between various theoretic models and how to apply these practically.

Having recently left my previous professional position to relocate to Brunei with my husband, I was considering starting a Masters degree in Anthropology. At the time, I was not confident in my ability to manage the research – I could only see obstacles and potential problems.Through coaching with Dana, I discovered that there was a solution to each issue. Instead of focusing on problems, we concentrated on my strengths and drew up a schedule in terms of goals, priorities and actions. I even identified and was energized to achieve related goals which were important to me at that time.

Coaching is a special time every week for a manager to think, improve and monitor their work and behavior. Dana is involved and discerning – thanks to coaching with her I am continuously discovering my own style of leadership and effectively implementing it.

In life you are never alone and you should never be alone. In my personal endeavor to become a better person and better leader at work, I was fortunate to have engaged a professional coach like Dana. She provides sound advice and helped me develop my life compass. Through her coaching techniques, I have learnt to be more aware of my leadership style and gaps. This awareness helped me to prioritize and develop a plan to work on the gaps. Dana is a solid, reliable and effective coach who I would strongly recommend to any executive who wants to challenge themselves to up their ante in the corporate game. Thank you so much for everything.

I had a relationship coaching with session which was very impactful in helping me understand the perspective of my good friend, mentor and colleague. The exercises were powerful and very engaging to help me think without being intrusive or stressful. Dana was a great coach – listening and providing insights to steer the conversation.

Dana is a great coach, who has also become a friend. I find it fascinating that our executive coaching sessions seem to be a combination of friendly chat and laboratory research, where she plays the role of scientist and I play the role of the lab rat! Overall she has a good coaching approach to assisting her clients’ self discovery.

Although I didn’t have a specific goal at the beginning of our coaching relationship, it quickly became evident that working on developing my interpersonal skills would be beneficial.

Not only did coaching with Dana help improve my communication with others, but it also helped uncover some underlying beliefs and self-imposed limitations which were holding me back from leading a fulfilling life.

My eyes were opened to professional opportunities that were staring me in the face. The process has given me the courage to listen to my inner wisdom, the clarity to design an efficient path to my ultimate goals, and the confidence to execute right actions with conviction.

Dana is the best! she gave me a different point of view and with her help I was able to recognize where I could improve myself. One of my main areas of concern was how to better influence people without being too nice or too hard on them. She totally opened my eyes on this, as the old adage goes, “you don’t know what you don’t know until you know it!”. I would gladly recommend Dana to organizations and/or leadership professionals seeking professional coaching.

I never thought these 1-hour phone calls could be so productive. They have helped so much in crystalizing ideas that were floating around in my head and otherwise would have been lost. Now I have a plan with specific actions I can act on to the betterment of my own self productivity and the company’s overall development.

When I was first introduced to the idea of utilizing an executive coach, I wasn’t really sure what to expect or what benefits I would get from it. However, after working with Dana over the course of several months, she really impressed me with her fabulous leadership. I was able to better understand my personal strengths and opportunities and put together a game plan to make improvements in my professional and personal life. Dana’s organized approach and feedback enabled me to realize my potential and put together a very targeted approach to reach my goals. Dana was also instrumental in working with my peers toward a common set of goals. Today, I consider her a great friend and someone that I know that I can rely on for excellent advice in tough situations. I strongly recommend Dana for any coaching programs that she has to offer – she is really outstanding!

Even a coach needs a coach… As a financial executive and life coach, I have collected models, methods and tools to effectively partner with clients. But when the coach is the client, it is difficult to allow your vulnerability to be examined. Dana is masterful in creating an environment of support, intellectual curiosity, authentic caring yet the firmness to hold accountability and forward movement.

Results … Lightness of heart, excitement for the possibilities and FUN is now a daily feeling vs. an occasional event!

Dana’s able to handle difficult session, guiding us with the right questions without ever “removing the nail”. She was able to drive discussion such that each of us was able to identify our strengths and areas to work on. Very effective and excellent coach.

With the new strategy co-created with Dana to empower the team, I implemented the actions of letting them take the lead and spent most of my time listening, restructuring tasks, and giving the required authorization to take decisions without the need to refer to me. I was not believing the results in this very short time, my team astonished me with their ability to judge critical situations and take some important décisions.

Dana is an extremely energetic professional who makes things happen. She was instrumental in bringing a relatively new assessment tool, Workplace Big Five Profile, into Malaysia and made a success of it with her clients.

She has a great appetite to try new solutions and an admirable learning agility.

Dana builds a good rapport with a trusting and comfortable space. She is a very good listener, behaves professionally, is goal-oriented and delivers accountability. Dana knows how to find the right balance between pushing the client forward towards his goals and holding the relationship. This ability is in my opinion the most prominent strength of Dana as a coach.
